'Verse - αΕβ - Subsidiaries - Blackwood Advanced Science and Technologies

Blackwood Advanced Science and Technologies (BAST / B.A.S.T) is a subsidiary and the primary research and development arm of Blackwood Global. It is arguably the biggest division within Blackwood Global. BAST has dozens of R&D facilities all across the globe. BAST was also the first corporate entity to establish permanent scientific base in Antarctica; tentatively allowed by the UN with some strings attached. All Nations under UN must be able to visit and utilize the BAST Antarctica Base.
